Shooting on the water
Boat walkthroughs, sea trials, delivery days, the yard in winter, tournaments in summer. Some of it is planned and some of it is grabbing the camera because the light is right and a 32-footer is about to splash.
Now hiring · part time
Social Media Manager & Content Creator
This is the boat you'd have been filming that morning. We sell and service boats on the Delmarva coast and we are not short of things worth pointing a camera at — we are short of somebody to point it.
The short version
In front of the camera and behind it
Part time, based at our shop in Selbyville. You would run our social media end to end: decide what we post, shoot it, cut it, write it, and be on camera yourself when the piece calls for a face. All the equipment is here — cameras, audio, lighting, editing. Bring the eye and the willingness to be on screen; we have the gear and the boats.
To be plain about the on-camera part: a good half of this job is being the person walking a viewer through a boat — hosting a walkthrough, doing the talking, showing up on screen regularly. If that part sounds like the fun bit, read on. If it sounds like the price of admission, this probably isn't the one.
The work
What you'd actually be doing
Editing and posting
Short-form video for Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and YouTube, plus the stills that go with it. Captions in our voice — plain, useful, no marketing fog. You own the calendar and what goes out when.
Being on screen
Hosting walkthroughs, talking through a boat's layout, introducing the people who work here. Comfortable and natural matters far more than polished.
Telling the shop's story
Twenty-three years, four brands, five Yamaha-certified technicians, a family that still works here. Plenty nobody outside the building has heard, and most of it is more interesting than another price post.
Watching what works
Reading what actually landed and doing more of it. We would rather you chased what people watched than what looked good in a plan.
Answering people
Comments and messages get replies. Somebody asking "how much?" under a boat video is a customer, and answering inside the hour is most of the job's value.
You
What we're actually looking for
- You can shoot and edit short-form video that holds attention — show us, don't tell us.
- You are comfortable on camera and happy to be the face of a post.
- You write like a person. Our whole website is written that way and we would like the social to match.
- You can work independently. Nobody here is going to art-direct you; the brief is usually "that boat goes out Thursday, get something good."
- You can get to Selbyville, Delaware reliably. This is not a remote job — the boats are here.
Boating knowledge is not required. We can teach you a boat. We cannot teach you an eye.
The details
Hours, pay and gear
- Part time, with hours we will work out around you. Some of it has to be when the boats are moving, which means some mornings and the occasional Saturday.
- All equipment provided — cameras, audio, lighting and editing. You do not need to own a kit to apply.
- Pay is negotiable and depends on what you bring. Tell us what you are looking for and we will have a straight conversation about it.
- On site in Selbyville, Delaware, twenty-five minutes from the Ocean City inlet.
How to apply
Send us something you made
No cover letter needed. Email Zak with a link to work you are proud of — a reel, a TikTok, a YouTube channel, anything that shows how you shoot and cut. Tell us in a line or two why this one interests you, and whether you have been on camera before.
Rather do it the old way? Email zsmith@rt113boatsales.net or call the shop on (302) 436-1737 and ask for Zak. We read everything that comes in and we will come back to you either way.
